Description
Welcome to 607 Colleton, nestled perfectly under Downtown Aiken's canopy of ancient trees and tucked securely behind turn of the century brick garden walls that surrounds this stunning circa 1892 home. Rosewall Cottage, as it is known, is one of Aiken's original winter colony homes and still greets visitors with lush gardens and landscaping as you approach the charming front porch. Upon entry, you will notice a stunning custom painting depicting a hunt scene in New England by Harold P. Murray (1927) that tells a story which continues to this day in Hitchcock Woods. The center hall style home includes all the lovely details of that time in history including, beautiful woodwork, multiple fireplaces, ten foot ceilings, heart of pine floors and much more. It offers a tremendous amount of space for entertaining and family time in rooms which are at once impressive and comfortable. Formal dining, parlor and office space are located in the front portion of the home while modern and updated kitchen equipped with quartz counters, Kitchen Aid appliances, gas cooking, ample pantry & counter space as well as additional storage are a cook's dream. The den features large windows that span the room overlooking the rear and side garden with double doors leading directly outdoors to green space and the pool area. The breakfast room is just off the kitchen and opens to a wonderful, covered porch. The outdoor porch, which showcases the rear gardens and pool, is large enough to accommodate a full dining table and outdoor living room. The primary bedroom as well a spacious guest suite are located on the main level. Two additional bedrooms are on the second floor. All bedrooms have access to private full baths, and all are updated to today's finishes. Our sellers have meticulously maintained Rosewall; there are two newer HVAC systems, the roof was replaced in 2018, and the kitchen and baths have been updated. While the property is on city water, it has a well that serves the grounds. The property includes two income- producing properties: a one-bedroom, recently remodeled cottage and a one-bedroom apartment over the detached garage. Both offer private entrances perfect for guests or an outstanding source of income. Rosewall Cottage is an easy walk to downtown Aiken, and close to the Willcox, Bruce's Field, Highfields, Polo grounds, Hitchcock Woods, Hopeland Gardens, as well as many of the area's major employers. You must see it to truly appreciate all this very special home encompasses. Guest house and apartment are not included in the stated square footage. Contact listing agents for details and 24 hour notice is required.
